diagnostic test for disease X correctly identifies the disease 97% of the time. False positives occur 7%. It is estimated thay 4.23% of the population suffers from disease X. Suppose the test is applied to a random individual from the population. What is the percentage chance that the test will be positive? What is the probability that, given a positive result, the person has disease X?

The expected value of a discrete random variable always corresponds to an actual outcome that may occur.
People with restless leg syndrome have a strong urge to move their legs to stop uncomfortable sensations. People with fibromyalgia suffer pain and tenderness in joints throughout the body. A recent study indicates that people with fibromyalgia are much more likely to have restless leg syndrome than people without the disease.1 The study indicates that, for people with fibromyalgia, the probability is 0.33 of having restless leg syndrome, while for people without fibromyalgia, the probability is 0.03. About 2% of the population has fibromyalgia.Create a tree diagram from this information and use it to find the probability that a person with restless leg syndrome has fibromyalgia.Round your answer to three decimal places.
If you roll a 10 sided die until you get a 1, what would be the expected value and variance of the resulting probability distribution?
A diagnostic test for disease X correctly identifies the disease 95% of the time. False positives occur 7%. It is estimated that 5.13% of the population suffers from disease X. Suppose the test is applied to a random individual from the population. What is the percentage chance that, given a negative result, the person does not have disease X? What is the percentage chance that, the person will be misclassified?
Based on historical data, your manager believes that 39% of the company's orders come from first-time customers. A random sample of 212 orders will be used to estimate the proportion of first-time-customers. What is the probability that the sample proportion is between 0.22 and 0.42?
Dr. Verde conducted an experiment in which she randomly assigned each subject a colored pencil and then asked them to choose their favorite color. Her results showed that neither the distribution of the assigned pencil colors or the subjects' preferred colors conformed to their expected theoretical probability values. If she repeats the experiment with a much larger sample, how would you expect her results to change and why? Answer in complete sentences. UPLOAD
If an affected female XLX marries an unaffected male XY, what is the probability of passing the hypertrichosis gene to her offspring? Remember hypertrichosis is an X-linked dominant disease. If an affected male XLY marries an unaffected female XX, what is the probability of passing the hypertrichosis gene to his offspring?
A diagnostic test for disease X correctly identifies the disease 90% of the time. Flase positives occur 12%. It is estimated that 5.36% of the population suffers from disease X. Suppose the test is applied to a random individual from the population. What is the percentage chance that given a negative result, the person does not have disease X? What is the percentage chance that, the person will be misclassified?
Apparently, depression significantly increases the risk of developing dementia later in lift (BBC News, July 6, 2010). In a recent study it was reported that 22% of those who had depression went on to develop dementia, compared to only 17% of those who did not have depression. Suppose 10% of all people suffer from depression. What is the probability of a person developing dementia? If a person has developed dementia, what is the probability that the person suffered from depression earlier in life?
Based on historical data, your manager believes that 34% of the company's orders come from first-time customers. A random sample of 175 orders will be used to estimate the proportion of first-time-customers. What is the probability that the sample proportion is less than 0.33?
A manufacturer of aspirin claims that the proportion of headache sufferers who get relief with just two aspirins is 63.5%. What is the probability that in a random sample of 480 headache sufferers, less than 59.4% obtain relief?
Based on historical data, your manager believes that 25% of the company's orders come from first-time customers. A random sample of 79 orders will be used to estimate the proportion of first-time-customers. What is the probability that the sample proportion is less than 0.31?
